7、e of payments is always balanced." Discuss. Answer: True. Every international transaction automatically enters the balance of payments twice, once as a credit and once as a debit.Current account + financial account + capital account = 0 7) "The balance of payments accounts seldom balance i

8、n practice." Discuss. Answer: True. The main reasons are due to the fact that data collected or received from different sources may differ in coverage, accuracy, and timing. In addition, data on services are not reliable as well as data from the financial account. Moreover, accurate measurement

9、s of international interest and dividend receipts are particularly difficult. 8）Fill in the following table:Answer: Chapter 13 Exchange Rates and the Foreign Exchange Market: An Asset Approach1）How many British pounds would it cost to buy a pair of American designer jeans costing $45 if the exchange

C) an investor should be indifferent between dollars and euros. D) It is impossible to tell given the information. E) All of the above. Answer: C 7）Discuss the

16、 effects of a rise in the interest rate paid by euro deposits on the exchange rate. Answer: There are two effects to consider. If we make the unrealistic assumption that the expected exchange rate will not change, then a rise in the interest rate paid by Euro deposits causes the dollar to depreciate

17、. However, if the expected exchange rate were to rise, then the current exchange rate would also rise. (See figure 13-6 from the text.)8) Calculate the interest rate in the euro zone if interest parity condition holds, for the following 15 cases:Answer: Chapter 14 Money, Interest Rates, and Exchange

18、 Rates1）Money includes A) currency. B) checking deposits held by households and firms. C) deposits in the foreign exchange markets. D) Both A and B. E) A, B, and C. Answer: D2）The aggregate money demand depends on A) the interest rate. B) the price level. C) real national income. D) All of the above

19、. E) Only A and C. Answer: D 3）Using a figure describing both the U.S. money market and the foreign exchange market, analyze the effects of a temporary increase in the European money supply on the dollar/euro exchange rate. Answer: An increase in the European money supply will reduce the interest ra

20、te on the euro and thus will cause the schedule of the expected euro return expresses in dollars to shift down, causing a reduction in the dollar/euro exchange rate, i.e., an appreciation of the U.S. Dollar. The euro depreciates against the dollar. The U.S. money demand and money supply are not goin

21、g to be affected, and thus the interest rate in the U.S. will remain the same.4) A permanent increase in a country's money supply A) causes a more than proportional increase in its price level. B) causes a less than proportional increase in its price level. C) causes a proportional increase in i

22、ts price level. D) leaves its price level constant in long-run equilibrium. E) None of the above. Answer: C5）After a permanent increase in the money supply, A) the exchange rate overshoots in the short run. B）the exchange rate overshoots in the long run. C) the exchange rate smoothly depreciates in

23、the short run. D) the exchange rate smoothly appreciates in the short run. E) None of the above. Answer: A6）"Although the price levels appear to display short-run stickiness in many countries, a change in the money supply creates immediate demand and cost pressures that eventually lead to futur

24、e increase in the price level." Discuss. Answer: The statement is true. The pressures come from three main sources: excess demand for output and labor; inflationary expectations; and, raw material prices. 7）The long run effects of money supply change: A) ambiguous effect on the long-run values

25、of the interest rate or real output, a proportional change in the price level's long-run value in the opposite direction. B） proportional effect on the long-run values of the interest rate or real output, a proportional change in the price level's long-run value in the same direction. C) no

26、effect on the long-run values of the interest rate or real output, a proportional change in the price level's long-run value in the same direction. D) no effect on the long-run values of the interest rate or real output, no change in the price level's long-run value. E) ambiguous effect on t

27、he long-run values of the interest rate or real output, A disproportional change in the price level's long-run value in the same direction. Answer: CChapter 15 Price Levels and the Exchange Rate in the Long Run1）Under Purchasing Power Parity, A) E$/E = PUS/PE. B) E$/E = PE/PES. C) E$/E = PUS + P

28、E. D) E$/E = PUS - PE. E) None of the above. Answer: A2）Assuming relative PPP, fill in the table below:Answer: 3) Under PPP (and by the Fisher Effect), all else equal, A) a rise in a country's expected inflation rate will eventually cause a more-than proportional rise in the interest rate that d

29、eposits of its currency offer in order to accommodate for the higher inflation. B) a fall in a country's expected inflation rate will eventually cause an equal rise in the interest rate that deposits of its currency offer. C) a rise in a country's expected inflation rate will eventually caus

30、e an equal rise in the interest rate that deposits of its currency offer. D) a rise in a country's expected inflation rate will eventually cause a less than proportional rise in the interest rate that deposits of its currency offer to accommodate the rise in expected inflation. E) None of the ab

D) differences in expected inflation and nothing else. E) differences in expected inflation, and on expected cha

52、e rate fixed at Eo? Please explain with the aid of a figure. Answer: No, the rise in output leads to an excess demand for money. If the central bank does not increase supply to meet this demand, the domestic interest rate would rise above the foreign rate, R*. This higher rate of return (and given expectations in the foreign exchange market) would cause the
